                      depends on what he was busted for.. with all the other spamers busted they were nailed for other things such as fraud or identity theft. I have yet to see anyone get busted "just" for spamming.

                      However "Spammer arrested" is thrown around a lot in the news headlines.

                          There will always be spammers. It's starting to be like playing Russian Roulette though.

                            But all those things are vital to a spammer. Just using proxies is already illegal.

                                      I think that wasting the tax dollars of the people to chase spammers is the stupidest thing I have ever seen.

                                      There are more serious things than spam. and that money needs to be used for those things.

                                            very true. that spammer that was recently arrested and has a $1 mil. bail, was spamming fake scammy shit. he fucking deserves all that he gets.

                                            Often times I wonder why
                                            There's love and hate, theres live or die.
                                            When sickness comes I must decide:
                                            When feelings go, theres suicide.

                                              can spam is one fed law, then there are the numerous state laws (which are enforceable) and just about any isp can have a good faith lawsuit against any mailer.

                                              free advice: put that energy and talent originally used for mailing into low risk niches such as search engines and avoid the risks of mailing for a while. these isp's love the publicity they get from the lawsuits in the ongoing isp war for free email account users to advertise to.

                                              it is soooo easy to get sued- you can use a nebulous subject like "sexually-explicit: just turned 18" and they can sue you claiming the subject is deceptive because the models may not be actually just 18 for example. Sounds silly- but it happens for real.

                                              btw- we have one of our ironport's for sale.

                                                      VeriSexyBut all those things are vital to a spammer. Just using proxies is already illegal.
                                                      Well as long as you are only using proxies I would think you could scoot under the gaydar for quite awhile. I think their big targets are guys that are committing fraud and identity theft and so on.

                                                      I think if you were "just" mailing it would be hard for them to get a very good conviction on you. Especially with a trial by jury.

                                                      what country has this law ?? i have certainly never heard of it.
                                                      I think "Can Spam" outlaws the use of proxies when mailing, but don't quote me on it..
                                                      In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.
